MacBook Software Update 1.2

Remember what I always say about the software inside any hardware device? Probably not, but since I don't like to repeat myself, let me put it this way - no matter how good your hardware may be, software updates can always squeeze a bit more out of it! Now, we already got the new MacBook Pro and the other goodies from Apple, but that's not all - a software update also came with the new Macs, as we're going to see right away...

Getting back to the hardware and software problem, here's what I usually do when I get a new piece of hardware - after unboxing it, I throw away the drivers & software CD or DVD that came with it(I have a collection of such discs), and then go online to get

the latest drivers and software available. That's exactly what most people buying Macs will do, especially since the new MacBook and MacBook Pro may not arrive to their new owners until next month.

The software update 1.2 for MacBooks has 45 MB in size, and Apple wrote quite a description for it. Even if you're not a MacBook user, here's the interesting description - "This update contains software bug fixes for precision aluminum unibody enclosure MacBook and MacBook Pro notebook computers introduced in October 2008." Pretty interesting, don't you think? They put it like the body needs that software, and not the hardware inside it...

"The update improves compatibility with external displays and includes a variety of software fixes. This update is recommended for all users of these systems," concluded Apple the short description of this latest software update.

This is it, for now. I know that only a few chosen ones have the latest MacBooks already, so you should write down in your "to do" list "to update my precision aluminum unibody enclosure MacBook...as soon as I get it," don't you think?
